A more mobile ST. I know this is difficult because Kane is undisputed number 1. Perhaps a striker who can also play on the wings?

A Winger

A sub for Ericksen (Lanzini?)

A young left back

I would perhaps say Son is the backup for Kane in that regard (pace)

Agree on Eriksen, Left Back (KWP needs to step up) and winger (Edwards, Shashoua are in the wings)

We have Lamela for Eriksen. Lanzini won't be a bad addition but would he want to sit on the bench? Sterling will have to be developed to one day replace Kane.

I kinda like this move for Marcus. He needs first team games to help build up his strength and gain valuable experience that he isn't getting playing with the U23. At this stage of his career he won't be able to break into the first team in Spurs so it is only logical that he gets it elsewhere where the competition is stiff. A lot of our English players done so in the past and come back being the better for it. Notably were Kane, Kyle Walker and Rose. MoPo believes in him so much and I hope this move will help him get to the next level and to start reaching his potential.

The season is reaching the point where the pressure for points begins to mount. Yesterday the teams we are chasing stepped up their game and collected 3 points. Today we have a chance to close the gap once more by facing the Saints away. A tricky match but one that often provides joy. MoPo is going back to the place where he began his managerial career in England 5 years ago and will be a bit emotional when he faces them however he is a ruthless manager who likes nothing more than winning a match. At least for a lil over 24 hours we will have a chance of sitting in 4th with a comprehensive win.

On the injury front, Lloris and Kane were bugged down with flu midweek but are expected to make a full recovery for today's match. Alderweireld is stepping up his recovery and is looking to be ahead of his scheduled return. Danny Rose is still recovering from knee injury and won't be available. Winks too is still in the recovery stage. Aside those we have a full team. There shouldn't be any changes from the one that started the match last week against Everton aside the RB rotation. My team for today will be:

Kane

Son Dele

Dembele * Eriksen * Dier

Davies * Jan * Sanchez * Trippier

Lloris

On merit Wanyama should be starting but as Dier is MoPo's lovechild I expect him to play. Dembele had a terrific match last week and since he has had a full week to recover I don't see how he will be benched today.

COYS!!!

With the absence of Eriksen the formation will definitely change as Dele will drop to be the play maker. Alternatively Dembele can play that role since Sissoko is in to play DM.
